In the 1970's Hibs only finished out the top five once.

Compare that with the 60's when we managed a third a fourth & a fifth & no cups

Compare it with the last 20 years when we managed three thirds and two fourths & three fifths

So what came before Hart was not so successful in the league or cup. Clearly what came after was not great also but we are waiting to hear why that was his fault.
It was his fault because he did not leave the club on a sound business footing. When Waugh took over there was much to be done, which Kenny couldn't do. Result was we were sitting ducks for a couple of snake oil salesmen who promised the return of the old days. That in turn led to us being in such financial trouble that we went close to going out of existence.

That it has taken 20 years to get to the position we are in is testament to the mess we were in. Hart bankrolled the club, but without vision and strategy things spiralled out of control from 1975. He can't be blamed for decisions taken after he died, but he can be blamed for making a bit of a mess of things over 10 years.
